The book is called, "Over The Rainbow; a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens". It's a spiritual gardening book. It covers basic gardening techniques - what I call the "nuts and bolts of gardening" - as well as nature communication, honoring nature's cycles for garden planning and planting, how to use and preserve your garden harvest including recipes, an introduction to flowers essences, insights on gardening with children and even a chakra balancing meditation for gardeners and non-gardeners alike!.

​I'd love to hear from you so drop me a line and say hello.

Sacred Gardening Workshops!I'm happy to announce that I'll be joining the Fairy Congress this year presenting two workshops on "Sacred Gardening". The fairy congress brings many folks together to celebrate their love and respect for the Earth and for the unseen realms such as the faeries,devas and gnomes that play a vital part in the well being of our planet. It will be a beautiful event and I feel blessed to share what I know about the garden. For more info click "Love in the Garden" on the events page.

​ "Over The Rainbow ​a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens" is a spiritual gardening book. You'll find plenty of information on basic gardening techniques - what I call the "nuts 'n bolts" of gardening such as Soil Amendments 101, tips and techniques for planning and planting the garden and "the scoop on soil tests" which explains what a soil test can reveal about your garden soil and how to make it better. From there it expands into an array of informative topics such as honoring nature'scycles in the garden (i.e.;planting by the moon for instance), planting for pollinators, insights on gardening with children, various techniques for preserving your harvest, which includes about 30 garden fresh recipes and gardening in climate change. For those interested in the more spiritual aspects of gardening I've included techniques for communicating with Nature, particularly in the garden, a chapter introducing the use of flower essences (and how to make them) and a chakra balancing meditation. There's something in this book for everybody!

I have now begun writing a second book called "Earth in Harmony;a compassionate choice". This book will be a call to action explaining the ways we can make compassionate choices with ourselves and with the world around us. How do we garden with an open heart and create garden sanctuaries for all to thrive? How do we find ways to treat the animals with compassion so we may honor their lives as they too, are part of the fabric of life? How do we make better energy choices so we may lessen our footprint on a changing planet? And how do we make compassionate choices towards ourselves as we learn to love ourselves more? This book delves into these topics and so much more. It will also include a chapter of healthy and yummy vegan recipes that I trust all will enjoy! I'm hoping the book will be published by late 2019 or early 2020. I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, as always, have fun in the garden!

What people are Saying ...

There's something beyond science that happens in the midst of Marianne. I visit her garden with my daughter when our worlds are spinning and we need to feel grounded. There's an energetic calmness and lifting that happens simultaneously. It's actually surreal. Her fruits and herbs and tomatoes have brought us years of health. Her teachings have brought our own garden to life. And now when there are creepy crawlies in our house and my daughter finds them, she takes a piece of paper or her hands and lovingly frees them to the world, and off they go. For a 6 year old to know of the feelings of the plants and animals that surround her is vital to her growth. Her understanding of fairies is far greater than any adult and equally powerful to her constant state of bliss. And when winter settles in and colds cross our doorstep, the flower essences Marianne makes seems to satisfy the craving of my little girl. It makes it all better! It's sweet and pure and healing for the mind and the body. I'd say we're "over the moon" about it and Marianne is "over the rainbow"! ~ Julie

Over 20 years ago, I was introduced to Marianne by a mutual friend and talented landscape artist, he would consult Marianne on many of his high-profile projects. The moment I met Marianne in her garden (which was more like a flower forest) I could feel my vibration elevate. I had never fully understood the power of flora and fauna until I stepped into Marianne's magical realm. Besides being an incredibly kind and compassionate human being, Marianne's talents to create colorful, feastful, utterly magnetic environments is stunning. To spend an hour in the garden with Marianne feels like a casual conversation that goes by too quickly, and, when it's over, you will find that you know incredible amounts about her "friends" that grow and pollinate there. Marianne doesn't lecture, she joyfully imparts knowledge based in a deeply intuitive skill-set that is rare, as is clear from her blog. I am excited to read her book "Over The Rainbow; a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens"and implement her sage advice to create my own colorful, soul and body feeding realm. (And my daughter is all about calling in the faeries!)Marianne's flower essences are equally magical and potent for important vibrational shifts and insights and make incredible gifts!Whether you are a nuts-and-bolts gardener type, or on a Spiritual quest to connect with the Earth and all beings, I can assure you that you have found the perfect resource in Marianne and this gorgeous GardenRainbows website. When Marianne states she wanting to help humankind harness Heaven on Earth, I have no doubt she is serious...and she is one of the planet's beautiful souls that has the gifts to fulfill this promise.

I have been following Marianne's gardening methods for decades. She truly has a special sense about plants and their environment. I have learned so much from her about listening to what the plants need but also about trusting my own inner knowledge about gardening. It’s always a balance between the natural science of things and the co-creative process that makes gardening so deeply satisfying. Renata Reid

Wonderful products! They were of great assistance to me through some very stressful times. I would recommend them highly.The vegetables and fruits grown in Marianne Vaughn's garden contain very clear healing energies as a result of the love and nourishment they receive. They're also the tastiest of any produce I've ever eaten! Nancy B
